Wow, what an awesome laptop. I've been sticking with Thinkpads for years as I love the business level build quality (and Commercial Vantage software that makes life easier)
800 NITS is a dream come true for folks like me that work next to a large very bright window, or often outside.
But $1300 .. hmm. There are other Thinkpads with 500 NIT screens for $600, they are a few generations old though. The sweet spot for Thinkpads is still probably two generations ago, the new buzz around them has evaporated so now they are reasonably priced.
One needs to make sure that the 800 NITS advertised isn't just for HDR content, but also for SDR, which we all use to get actual work done.

For me the difference would be the 800 NIT screen in this one .. fantastic for working in a very bright environment.
Still, two generations ago for half of this price delivers similar performance, but not this awesome screen.. I mean this is getting near MacBook Pro levels of NITS.

interesting concept, I'll take a look. The V line is relatively recent one though, aimed for creators, and it's typically very expensive. Would be nice to get a similar V line from T series, which should be cheaper but pretty much have the same performance.
Can anyone comment on possible disadvantages of the P series when compared to the T series?
For the past 20 years, I've only had Thinkpad T laptops. I know the P series is usually more powerful, so I understand what I would gain with the P series.
I would like help with to understand what I might lose (if anything) if I were to compare a P series and a T series (assuming similar specs).

Any link would be appreciated for the half-priced alternative version.

That's good to know, but at this price point I'd be looking to get 64gb out of the box.. installing additional memory means another $100-150 upwards
